CHICAGO —

Seventeen-year-old cousins Jake and Kyle Bumstead were tasked with learning how to use a rotary phone in four minutes, but they couldn’t quite get the hang of it in time.

“Put the phone to your ear. What do you hear?” someone off camera said. “ What does it sound like?”

“Doooooooo,” Jake said, imitating the dial tone.

Bumstead challenged three other groups of younger family members who also had four minutes to dial a phone number on a rotary phone.

A 25-year-old and two 22-year-olds knew right away. Two 20-year-olds took some time to do it, but figured it out. The 14-year-old and 12-year-old girls figured it out in less than 90 seconds because they had rotary phone toys when they were younger, surprising Bumstead the most.

Jake and Kyle have been inundated by responses since the video posted.
